Or require the students to have attempted one of the higher SES schools where more opportunities for acceleration exist! 
/Sarcasm[/quote]

Ha, I know some one moved from McLean to a low SES school and yes, his son get in. I am not blaming him. The kid is smart and motivated indeed. [/quote]
Either you are lying or TJ admissions office is, when they claim "Admissions evaluators/reviewers do not know the ... school ...  of applicants."[/quote]

DP. The school comes into play at some point. They have a certain # of seats allocated for each MS.

Just like student race?[/quote]

And the biggest beneficiaries is low income Asian.[/quote]

There are fewer asians now under the new system.  The objectively biggest beneficiaries are white kids.  It stands to reason because Fairfax is largely white so a lot random selection process is going to select more white kids.  [/quote]
